my GENERATION POEM by jordan mcswain
The last of the crack era babies
alot of things changed since the 80s
we are looked down upon, its even worst for the black ladies
It's hard to go to schoool when your friends on the block pushing mercedes
but maybe,if we stay strong and move on, other generations won't think were crazy
Im the voice of the "lost generation"
They think we're black, dumb, and don't care for education
So they cut back on financial aid
To make our black college sistas strip to get tuition paid
It's a struggle out here no matter what race you are
But it feels as though blacks have it so hard
In the hood we killing ourselves, its our own version of civil war terror
We are addicted to fast money, no wonder we're from the crack era
